To unlock Save Your Ganchis, you must complete the coop map Explosions 101. You must have an EGO rating of 300 (note - it can unlock earlier, depending on story progress it seems. for me, it unlocked bang on 300) to unlock this coop mission, or as progressing past a certain story quest within ACT2, breaking into San quentin.
To access coop maps, from the in game menu press right on your dpad. Select matchmaking, then coop maps, then Explosions 101.
Then, play through the mission, and upon beating the boss and hitting the stats screen, your achievement will pop.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This achievement can bug more often than not, where it will not pop upon completion. If you find you completed it with no achievement, please read on.
To avoid this, enter with a full group of four. If anyone has entered before you, or drops out, the achievement will not pop.
It will not pop unless its the same four people, and only those people from start to finish.

300 ego is not required, i did this earlier and my ego rating is around 244?i think. definitely under 250. i am however part way into act 3 so maybe the story progression is more important than ego rating

Seems fixed now, played a few co-op maps and they all seem to run smoothly and flawlessly.

Boss 1: Raider Hulker
The Raider Hulker won't show any weak spot immediately, just shoot wherever. He will try to go after one of you and try to sweep or stomp you. Just try to stay away from him (by rolling). He can also throw one of his rockets which is pretty hard to dodge. If you deal enough damage, he will go to the ground. Quickly aim for his exposed brain to deal critical damage. Sometimes he will go into a berserk mode. You’ll see these red veins appear on his right shoulder. Aim at those to deal critical damage. Be careful though, he will keep rushing towards one of you. Just keep your distance and when you see him coming at you, roll away.
Don't worry about ammo, there are blue ammo stashes which instantly refill your ammo. -
Boss 2: Dekuso
In the room with Dekuso are two places on the walls with turrets. Dekuso will go and float at one of them. Once he does, the turrets become activate. Hide behind the pillars and aim for the yellow Energy Catalyst to destroy the turrets. Don’t bother shooting Dekuso, he’s invincible. Once all turrets are down, he will teleport to the middle of the room and that’s when he becomes vulnerable. Just keep shooting at him. Be careful though, he can teleport, and when he does, he usually teleports behind or close to one of you. He has a few attacks. Such as a laser which you’ll see him charging. Quickly hide behind the pillars if he aims at you. Stay to long in the laser and you’re dead. He can shoot energy balls which do quite some damage. He also has one attack that does barely any damage, but can’t be dodged. He will teleport to the roof in the middle of the room, charge up a laster and shoot it towards the ground which will stun all of you, deactivating your HUD and crosshair. You can still shoot him though. He will go back to the turrets 3 times, after which he will stay on the ground until he’s dead.
